I like frontline its heaps better than the other texts u have to study. Their clothes are only ugly because the episodes were made in like 1994 10 years ago

i find the humour dull
i am not interested taking more interest in the folder which happens to look like a pillow every english lesson
i know having a negative attitude towards the text is a bad idea. however
the humour id dulll
the clothes suck
looking at the main dudes hair is enough to want to attacjk him with scissor and a brush
and the fact that theyre trying to be funni. but not

True!! The humour is like..soo weird. The first episode you watch like the siege is kinda funny. But then it slowly loses its touch.. gosh its becoming incredibly tedious.. Also its related texts are quite hard to allocate.

i like frontline because the episodes are short and they have so much in them - it is the only english topic that i am confident with. Its a bad show, but it really suits the telling the truth module.

i dont know if frontline's all that bad.. but we studied the castle in extension and it was heaps better, and the humour's not that different. We're only up to our second episode though.. I reckon the whole Advanced course is a little sucky..

I know you shouldnt really reply to yourself... but i just decided that Advanced isnt sucky. Frontline is just a little bit dated i think, all the acting seems a little forced to me.

I personally enjoy watching Frontline, we're only up to our 3rd episode, but there are several amusing parts throughout. The guys are funny, as they are on the panel. :)

its ok... its not that bad considering this was in 1994... we were in yr 1 then.... so parts are funny and u have so much to write about it for every episode...but considering ive only done 3 i can't say too much.... ive done the seige, we ain't got dames, and playing the ego card...

I dont mind Frontline at all. Ive found each episode have their funny bits but i guess when a text is branded an 'English text' we instinctively disgust it. But personally, im enjoying it a lot more than all the other texts ive done this year(besides pardoners tale etc.)

personally, i liked frontline as a series to watch. but deconstructing it again and again which ive been doing in class has made me sick of it, just like king lear and emma/clueless.
frontline completely distorted my view of the news and currrent affairs. i cant watch the news normally anymore, i can't look at current affairs normally anymore, all i think is, what the hell could they have changed in that? what's the appeal of that bull**** story? but frontline is exaggerated to a great extent. its a pretty good series...i hate brooke
